Scientific paper

In this article it is argued that galactic magnetic fields are generated in the earliest moments of galaxy collapse. The model proposes that provided, even if only briefly, a supermassive star is formed early on in the galaxy formation process, this star can produce a strong centrally localized magnetic field which may act as the 'seed' field from which a galactic field can grow. In order to substantiate this model, detailed numerical calculations will be required.
